Audrey Ellen Sparks, 60, of Lexington, and loving wife of Kevin Lee Sparks passed away unexpectedly at home on Friday, September 5, 2025. An Ashland native, she was born to the late Sherman Frank Brown and Helen (Rowe) Brown on November 17, 1964. She was a member of the Christian faith.  

Audrey was a talented homemaker who loved her family more than anything else in this world. She was an excellent cook who was great at hosting family events, especially at Christmastime. She especially loved the Christmas Season.

Audrey loved the color purple. If you choose to send a flower arrangement to the funeral home for her services, incorporating some purple would be appreciated.
